Beloved Countrymen,

It is now eleven years since the promulgation of the Constitution of the Kingdom of Nepal-1990. We take this occasion to extend our best wishes to all the Nepalese people.

Our revered brother His late Majesty King Birendra Bir Bikram Shah, inspired by the objective of securing for the Nepalese people social, political and economic justice long into the furture, promulgated the Constitution of the Kingdom of Nepal-1990 to promote the spirit of fraternity and unity amongst them on the basis of liberty and equality through the guarantee of basic human rights for all. Our benevolent brother's steadfast commitment to the Constitution is there for all to see and remains an example for us all.

The behaviour and actions of every citizen, as well as institutions, must conform to constitutional norms and values if democracy is to prosper. There is no denying that multiparty democracy will be further consolidated if we are mindful of the spirit and supremacy of the Constitution and strive towards creating an environment wherein every citizen is able to exercise, without fear or hindrance, the rights guaranteed by the Constitution.

May this day inspire all Nepalese to dedicate themselves to the nation's unity and sustainable development.

May Lord Pashupatinath bless us all !

Jaya Nepal !
